New Model: Baltic M78

Baltic launch the M78 a fuly custom 23 meter semi-planing explorer yacht designed by German Mani Frers and conceived for offshore cruising, combining stunning interior and exterior styling with highly sophisticated hull design which should provide her owners with a comfortable ride at sea and a luxurious living platform at rest.  Mani Frers naval architecture, in the Baltic M78 makes the interesting observation that the speed achieved by large sailing yachts now matches those of motor yachts, much can be learned from the two disciplines to produce highly efficient hull forms.  Frers has also studied recent commercial ship research, which aims to make vessels as efficient as possible. This has led to the motion of the M78 less aggressive, which in turn has the unexpected effect of reducing motion sickness. M78 stability is further enhanced by two Seakeeper gyro stabilizers, all this, linked with the light, stiff hull and deck shell result in an outstanding yacht.  Baltic M78 narrow beam is fundamental to the yacht’s easily driven and sea-kindly hull. She’s powered by twin Volvo diesels 625hp driving through IPS dual propeller pod drives for further efficiency.  A lot has been worked into her accommodation including a stern garage for a tender and a well-equipped galley featuring a dumb waiter leading to the deck saloon. The yacht features striking photographic studies and specialist stucco paneling putting it in a class of her own.  Key features on M78 deck include a remarkable reflective glass deck superstructure housing the wheelhouse and deck saloon, deep bulwarks providing great protection and an all-round walkway and custom stainless steel work including unique 3D printed stainless steel push-pit and pulpit design which enhances the yacht’s contemporary look.  M78 is an advanced explorer yacht which will set the standard for further projects in this field from Baltic Yachts.

Project: Baltic 112MY

In an exciting long-term business expansion initiative to build fully-custom motor yachts, Baltic Yachts is reacting to client demand for high quality, lightweight yachts to fill a gap in the market up to sixty meters.  Baltic Yachts is steeped in sailing yacht construction and engineering experience using advanced composites. The values found at the company’s reputation for innovation and top quality in sailing yachts will transfer seamlessly to the new motor yacht range.  Everything from precisely engineered advanced composite construction to the latest techniques in anti-vibration, sound deadening and propulsion systems will be used to build lighter, more efficient motor yachts. Baltic new motor yacht division will run on a fully custom basis open to all naval architects, designers and stylists.  Baltic has received a lot of positive reaction to a restored 25m timber build Alalunga motor yacht Sunny Day, re-launched from Baltic Yachts last year after a major refit. Her reincarnation has been a great success and prompted considerable client interest. She is currently cruising in the Caribbean and will re-locate to the Mediterranean later this year.  Baltic Yachts will also show the opportunity to showcase its motor yacht building capability with the launch of MY78, Bill and Me, this summer.  One of the first projects of this new plan is the above rendered Baltic 112MY designed by Designed Unlimited.  The British design firm is working on two other projects one of which is of eighty feet.
